Bereavement Training for Professionals

A unique feature of our training is that it is designed and delivered by professional and qualified staff who work directly for FirstLight and contribute to all the services we offer, and who can therefore draw on their own experience of working with suddenly bereaved parents and families.

We blend theory with practice in our training, ensuring that those attending will leave with practical, creative ideas to implement within their professionals roles. This ensures that our training days are clinically based. Delegates will have an interactive training experience using a wide range of teaching methods and will go away with practical ideas for working alongside bereaved parents and families.

These workshops offer help to members of front line health professions, e.g. Gardaí, Funeral Directors and many other professions who come into contact with suddenly bereaved parents and families.
